We have a cat who has several special needs, and have seen oncology, cardiology, neurology and emergency services within this facility. All of the staff is friendly, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I have especially appreciated the work of Drs. Wilson-Robles and Tidd in Oncology (and Karla, who is so helpful in scheduling for our oncology appts), Dr. Bush in Neurology, and the entire ER staff.

Dr. Megan Kees is outstanding. She is kind, patient, compassionate, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. She is in tune with not only her furry patients, but also their owners.
